  • Histone deacetylase inhibitors for enhancing activity of antifungal agents
    Patent number: 8759400
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods to selectively treat fungal infection. More particularly, this invention relates to compositions and methods for selectively enhancing fungal sensitivity to antifungal compounds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 19, 2006
    Date of Patent: June 24, 2014
    Assignee: MethylGene Inc.
    Inventors: Nafsika Georgopapadakou, Wenqi Hu, Nadia Campeol, Jean Bedard, Robert Deziel, Alain Ajamian
  • Inhibitors of beta-lactamase
    Patent number: 8440643
    Abstract: This invention provides novel ?-lactamase inhibitors of the aryl- and heteroaryl-sulfonamidomethylphosphonate monoester class having nitrogen-based cations or quarternary ammomium groups. The compounds inhibit three classes of ?-lactamases and synergize the antibacterial effects of ?-lactam antibiotics (e.g., imipenem and ceftazimdime) against those micro-organisms normally resistant to the ?-lactam antibiotics as a result of the presence of the ?-lactamases.
    Type: Grant

  • POTENTIATION OF ANTIFUNGAL COMPOUNDS
    Publication number: 20080139673
    Abstract: The invention provides methods and models for understanding how HDAC inhibitors interact with antifungal azole compounds to potentiate the activity of such compounds, using fungal strains which have selective knockouts of fungal HDAC genes. The invention further provides methods for testing antifungal agents for potential synergy with fungal HDAC inhibitors, and thus provides antifungal compound which are identified according to the methods of the invention, and methods for treatment of fungal infections using such compounds.
